ACCM Joins Polar’s Speedstack Material Partner Program
June 10, 2025 | Polar InstrumentsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Advance Chip & Circuit materials has recently joined the Polar Speedstack Material Partner Program to ease the inclusion of ACCM's innovative Celeritas build up materials into the PCB supply chain.
“Availability of Celeritas in Speedstack eases the specification of ACCM materials for the OEM design community. PCB Technologists often mandate specific materials for demanding high-speed and high-density applications,” said Michael Gay, VP of marketing at ACCM.
This partnership:
- Allows simplified production of build-up technologies with Celeritas
- Provides an on-line and on premise material library from ACCM in Speedstack
- Opens new opportunities to extend the use of UHDI
Speedstack is in widespread use with OEMs who specify PCB stackups for specific applications, and eases the communication of stackup information throughout the PCB supply chain as PCB fabricators across the world are familiar with Speedstack’s clear and concise documentation and the availability of stackup data in XML format which can be imported into multiple production systems at the time of fabrication.

Why I Finally Embraced Autorouting
07/03/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAHere is a common misconception held by those who don’t fully understand the PCB layout process or how to wield today’s high-level EDA tools: "All I need to do is push the autorouter button, let the computer route all the signal traces, and get the layout 100% routed. It’s a no-brainer. Anyone can do it. It should take less than a few hours.”

07/03/2025 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.In recent years, Western OEMs have continued to push for China Plus One factories and the advancement of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). At present, there are two main modes for PCB companies to go global: building greenfield factories or through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Thailand is currently the primary geographic choice to build greenfield factories, whereas, increasingly, mergers and acquisitions in Vietnam and Malaysia provide opportunities for companies to expand markets and acquire resources.

Target Condition: Are Autorouters Friend or Foe?
07/01/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionFor PCB designers, just hearing the word “autorouters” can trigger everything from eye rolls to heated debate. We all have stories—some painful, some comical—of boards gone sideways at the hands of an overzealous routing algorithm. But these tools aren’t going away, and frankly, they shouldn’t. Used wisely, they can save some project teams hours or even days. Used blindly, they can cost weeks. So, where do autorouting tools stand today, and is interactive routing the smarter path forward?
